Anthropic president questions OpenAI’s Pentagon deal motives
Daniela Amodei, president of Anthropic, criticized OpenAI’s Pentagon deal in an upcoming podcast interview, calling it potentially opportunistic. She contrasted OpenAI’s move with her company’s refusal to allow its AI for mass surveillance or fully autonomous weapons, which led to a 2026 dispute with the Trump administration and federal restrictions on its products.
